The Union this morning casts heart
less, and unfeeling slur upon the
widow of the late Mr.. C. c. Knell by
stating that she evinced no desire TO have
charge of her step-children. In the houl
of her terrible affection and bereavement
she might well have been excused
from thought of the children or anything
else, yet nevertheless she did otfer to care
for the children and 1t was upon the ad'
vice of Mr. Knells brothers and the
sister Of the children's mother that SHE
acquesced in the plan of having Mrs
Dyer appointed guardian which was done
yesterday, believing such course bes

Plaster Compost.
Rv o,,r A oricnltural Editor.

By our Agricultural Editor.
Intelliget farmers are aware of the neces-
sity of keeping lime, ashes, and mari from
compost heaps composed mainly of animal or
vegetable matter. Thereason u.s. the alkaline
element burns up Or scatters to the winds
the ammonia or heterogeneous principle of
these manures, and SO very much impairs
their fertilizing value.
But there is need, at the same time, of
some substance to mix with composts that
will help to reduce and make them fine
something that will not scatter the ammo
MIA, but that will retain it, and help to
make the pile dry, short, and powdery, like
the fertilizers of the trade. Such an article
we have in the common gypsum or land
plaster. Every compost pile should be
covered with this form of lime. Being of
itself an important manure, it has also
strong affinity for ammonia of which fact
the farmer may readily satisfy himself by
mixing some of it with stable manure, and
noticing how soon the odor is removed
But it is locked up, not lost.
Farmers should avail themselves largely
of the use of plaster. Every pile of manure
should be whitened with it, and soil COM
posed largely of organic matter should be
top-dressed once annually with this article.
Plaster and poultry. hog pen, or stable ma
nure makes d complete and very effective
fertilizer for all crops. Mix plaster With
your composts, manure piles, and scatter
around literally IN stable and other build
ings occupied by stock Index Appeal.

THE DEATH OF THE YEAR.

A cloud came out of the golden West.
A bell rang over the silent air.
Ths sun-god hurried away to rest,
Flushing with kisses each cloud he prest,
And, oh but the day was fair.
"Eow brightly the year goes out" they said;
1.-The glow of the sunset fingers long,
Knowing the year will be over and dead,
Its sad hours over-its feet hours fled
With service of even-song."
"How sadly the year came in" they said,
listened and wondered in dusk of night;
To me no year that might come instead
or the old friend numbered among the dead
Could ever be half so bright
The sun-kissed clouds grew pale and gray.
The bells hung silent in high mid-air,
Waiting to ring the year away
In strains that were ever too glad and gay
For meas listened there.
Oh, hearts that beat in a million breasts,
Oh. lips! that utter the same old phrase,
wonder that never a sorrow rests
In words you utter to friends and guests
In the new years strange new days
Is 1t just the same as 1t used 10 be?
Have new years only gladder sound?
For ever and always it seems to me
That no new face can be SO sweet to see
AS the old ones we have found.
There is no cloud in the darkened west,
The bell is silent in misty air,
The year has gone to its last long rest.
And I, who loved and who knew 1t best,
Shall meet it-God knows where!
-AU the Year Round

DOES ANY ONE CARE FOR FATHE r..

Does any one care aught for father?
Does any one think of the one
Upon whose tired, bent shou lders,
The cares of the family conner
The father who strives for your comfort.
And tolls on from day unto day,
And his dark locks are turning gray.
Does any one think of the due bills
He's called upon daily to pay;
Mitliner bills, college bills. book bills.
Tnere are some kinds of bills every day,
Like a patient horse in q tread.mill,
He works on from morning till night;
Does any one think he is tired,
Does any one make his home bri ght?
Is 1t right. just because he looks troubled.
To say he's cross as bear?
Kind words, little actions and kindness.
Might Danish his burden OF care,
IT'S for you he Ia ever so anxious,
He will toll for you while he may live:
In return he only asks kindness,
And such pay is easy to give.
